need help from experienced SCROG growers with building a 400w stealth SCROG cabinet

Hey guys like the title says I am going to be building a 400w SCROG stealth cabinet. Ive looked at at least 20 400 watt cabinets here and on other forums and i havent been able to find one that I can copy because it either is too big for my closet or its sloppy and the temps in there suck or its not designed for SCROG or it has some other problems. Ill try to make this as structured as possible.

My main focus is keeping the cabinet as small as possible...this is my main problem. I don't know just how short of a cabinet i can get away with because i know the 400w generates a lot of heat. Here are the supplies im going to order.

LIGHT:

Im hoping to cool that thing with:

Ducting:

and the obvious things like timers and thermometer/humidity meter and the string to make the squares...ill make the carbon filters


Now here are the things i cant decide on:

1)First and most important is just how short of a cabinet can i get away with while keeping my temps good?

2)Do i need to get 2 of those fans or can i get
http://www.amazon.com/LED-Wholesalers-GYO2402-Hydroponic-Booster/dp/B003YFADW8/ref=pd_bxgy_ol_img_b as a 2nd fan to save myself $50 and to try to keep the noise down a little?

3) Pots... im thinking either 3gal or 5gal smart pots. Are 5gal pots overkill? they are 2 inches taller than 3 gal pots

4) # of plants... I was thinking 4.... 6 at most? definitely 4 if i go with 5gal pots? ... 6 if i go with 3gal? need input from experienced SCROG growers

So far im picturing... 10-12 inches for the height the pot, then 8 inches from the top of the pot to the net... then im lost... do i need to leave like 6 inches for growth above the net? and then how much room will need so i dont burn the tops of my plants off?

So please help me build the smallest 400w SCROG closet possible that can fit 4-6 plants. I know im probably missing a bunch of stuff, so please dont hesitate to point it out to me. This is my 1st SCROG attempt
